Chris Matthews (TV journalist — cameo)

Chris Matthews operates as a television journalist who actively pursues leads on politically sensitive matters; in the current material he surfaces as an outside reporter seeking information about the item labeled '88‑B'. He functions primarily as a media pressure point — a conduit that can convert behind‑the‑scenes developments into public scrutiny. His interactions register as inquiry-driven and time-sensitive, placing him in the orbit of White House staff and private consultants whose knowledge or silence can shape a developing story.
